Well, here it is Wednesday and it's taken me way too long to post today. Had to handle bunches of stuff today, including a couple of emergency cases. So the topic of the day is anticipatory anxiety. Here's a blurb from an article I submitted just a bit ago..."Now, I’ve experienced anticipatory anxiety so many times over the years and it’s caused me way too much stress, unease, frustration, and melancholy. And as with most everything with which we deal, there’s no 'miracle-cure.' However, if you truly want to kiss it good-bye there are strategies that can help you pull it off, in lieu of simply writing off activities and events. Looking back, I started making my most significant progress in dealing with anticipatory anxiety when it dawned on me just how much misery it brought to my life. I hated it. And not only could I very much do without it, it was something I could actually do something about. I mean, what a waste of valuable time and life experience. In the past, for example, had I flown somewhere on a business trip, the anticipatory anxiety regarding the flight home would cause so much way-over-the-top grief for the very few days I was at my out of town location that I couldn’t fully take-in and enjoy the sites and experiences. I began to find that very objectionable, to the point of resentment. Yeah, it made me angry as heck. Indeed, angry enough to do something about it."
